A document taking-over system includes a terminal device provided with an electronic pen which gets information written by hand on a document prepared to be able to specify a kind thereof together with kind information of the document as electronic data and for transmitting the electronic data, a document taking-over apparatus for processing the electronic data to produce it as document information of XML format, a correspondence retrieval apparatus for transmitting connection information to the document taking-over apparatus to the terminal device, and a system disposed at a latter stage to utilize the document information processed by the document taking-over apparatus, which are connected to one another through a network.

System and method for taking over a document

A digital pen-based application form filling system with a modification prevention function, which eliminates a possibility that digital information initially written in digital paper using a digital pen may be modified deliberately or accidentally. The system prints a new fine pattern over areas in already written digital paper whose contents one wishes to protect against being modified. This printing adds a fine pattern to an original dot pattern already present on the digital paper to make it theoretically impossible to enter information into these areas using the digital pen.
